Full lyrics

O meu forró é melhor do que o teu

O sanfoneiro não cochila

A rapaziada faz fila para amanhecer o dia

No dia que tem forró

É gente como um formigueiro

Enquanto se gasta o dinheiro

Se ganha mais um xodó

É cachaça na cabeça

É molejo no mocotó


E tem morena boa de cheiro, tem, tem

Cavalheiro que é bom no pé

Muito chamego no terreiro, tem, tem

Uma chaleira de café, tem, tem

Tem pavio no candeeiro, tem, tem

Mais só acende se quiser

Translation

My forró is better than yours

The sanfoneiro doesn't doze off

The young crowd lines up for the day to break

On the day there's forró

It's people like an anthill

While money is spent

One gains another xodó

It's cachaça in the head

It's a sway in the legs


And there are good-smelling brunettes, yes, yes

Gentlemen who are good on their feet

Lots of affectionate cuddling in the yard, yes, yes

A kettle of coffee, yes, yes

There's a wick in the lamp, yes, yes

But it only lights up if you want
